Chapter 168(2/2)
"In this way, the society will be solidified and there will be no mobility."
"If society loses popularity, the people will lie down."
"Children from aristocratic families are idle and can also be rich and well-behaved."
"The common people's children are exhausted, but they still can't support the whole family."
"This creates a chronic disease of bad money driving out good money. In the long run, various social resources will increasingly gather on a small group of vested interests."
"Then the vast majority of people at the bottom will not survive."
"In the end, if you are forced to force yourself, the people at the bottom will rise up, and then there will be changes in dynasties."
"Speak dangerously," Wu Zetian said sneered, "Can your views lead to a change of dynasty?"
Pei Shaoqing said: "One of the views of a sect will certainly not lead to the change of dynasties, but the thousand-mile dike collapses in the ant hole. Such problems will show power when they accumulate to a certain extent."
"I suggest that the queen set an example by taking the princess's marriage."
"Through this marriage, it is correct to guide the people's wedding style."
"Break the old custom of the noble family's only intermarriage within the internal affairs!"
Wu Zetian said: "If it was just to break this old custom and impose a decree and prohibit intermarriage between noble families, wouldn't it be even simpler?"
"It may not be." Pei Shaoqing said, "I tried this method during the reign of Emperor Taizong."
"So what's the result? As a result, the noble families of aristocratic families are still unwilling to intermarry with ordinary people, and the nobles and high-ranking officials in the court are still proud of marrying women from five surnames. Therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach will not have any effect, and lazy administration will not work!"
Wu Zetian said: "Then, can it be effective if you use Taiping's wedding to set an example?"
Pei Shaoqing said: "It is definitely not enough to set an example by relying solely on the princess' wedding, and there must be substantial measures."
After saying this, Pei Shaoqing said again: "I'll give an example. If, I mean, if, if, our prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty must be from Jinshi in the future."
"No one is allowed to enter the Political Affairs Hall to be prime minister unless he is a Jinshi."
"Then increase the chances of poor children from poor families to pass the imperial examination."
"In such decades, will the noble families look up to the talented poor children at a glance?"
Wu Zetian fell into deep thought and said in a deep voice: "When it comes to the scientific examination, it will be the Ministry of Rites in less than half a month. I actually want to increase the chance of poor children taking the exam, but poor children are really not good at it."
"The list of people who participated in the Ministry of Rites exam this time has been seen, and more than 70% of them are from aristocratic families."
"There are two other layers of Cheng Cheng's nominal family, although he is a poor family, but he is actually a branch of the aristocratic family."
"The real poor family members are less than 10%, so Gu said that poor family members are not good at it."
"Queen, you are wrong." Pei Shaoqing said, "It's not that the poor children are not good at being successful, but that they don't have the chance to be successful. They don't even have the chance to study. How can they take the imperial examination?"
Princess Taiping frowned and said, "Does the poor children even have the chance to study?"
"I know this, too." Wu Zetian said, "Books are expensive and cannot be afforded by poor families."
"Yes, knowledge is monopolized by the noble families, and the poor children don't even know what books are."
Pei Shaoqing continued, "But don't worry, this situation will change soon. Am I not testing movable type printing through Xiangrui poetry collection now?"
“When the printing test is successful,”
"I will print the classics, history, and collections of the Secret Pavilion on a large scale."
"Then the whole Tang Dynasty was issued at an extremely low price."
"At that time, all the poor children in the country could afford to read."
"Take it seriously?" Wu Zetian said in a move, "Can the poor children be able to read books?"
"This..." Pei Shaoqing did not dare to say too much, and quickly remedyed, "I cannot guarantee that all poor children can afford to read, but most poor children can afford to read but can do it."
"It is enough to ensure that most poor children can afford to read books!" Wu Zetian said, "Compared with all dynasties, it is already a great merit. With this one, you can be well-known in history!"
Pei Shaoqing quickly shook his hand and said, "These are all the achievements of your queen."
As a time traveler, Pei Shaoqing knows that all the credits are the leaders.
Only workplace rookies are stupid enough to compete for credit with their leaders, they are fools.
"Dalang, Gu is waiting for that day." Wu Zetian called Dalang for the first time, "Don't let Gu down."
